Affects of using a credit monitoring service

Hi - Does anyone know if using a paid or non-paid credit monitoring service (i.e. My FICO, Credit Karma) affect credit score?  I'm wondering if when they pull my credit scores if it counts as an inquiry.  Many Thanks!!!

Using a CMS will not affect your score.  Including if you pull your reports and/or score 40 times a year.

When you check your own scores, it results in a soft pull.  A soft pull cannot impact your score.
